“#Dow closes above 33,000 for 1st time after Fed\u2019s upbeat projections<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at record highs on Wednesday after the Fed predicted a fast economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic and said it would maintain its interest rate at close to zero.<\/p>\n

It was the first time the Dow closed above 33,000 points.<\/p>\n

In its statement following its two-day policy meeting, the Federal Reserve projected a rapid jump in US economic growth and inflation this year as the COVID-19 crisis winds down, and repeated its pledge to keep its target interest rate near zero for years to come.<\/p>\n

Wall Street extended gains after Fed Chair Jerome Powell said during a news<\/a> conference that it is too early to discuss tapering-off measures to support the struggling economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Fed statement today was more optimistic than some expected, they raised their outlook for both economic growth and the labor market. The market\u2019s view of the statement is that it was fairly optimistic,\u201d said David Carter, chief investment officer at Lenox Wealth Advisors in New York.<\/p>\n

A $1.9 trillion spending stimulus and the rollout of vaccines have fueled a rotation into so-called value\u00a0stocks that are viewed as likely to outperform as the economy recovers from the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

At the same time, worries that the stimulus could overheat the economy and lead to higher inflation rates have triggered a strong rise in long-duration Treasury yields and made technology<\/a> and other growth\u00a0stocks less attractive.<\/p>\n

Following the Fed\u2019s statement, the yield on 10-year Treasuries ticked lower to 1.6374 percent.<\/p>\n

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.58 percent to end at 33,015.37 points, while the S&P 500 gained 0.29 percent to 3,974.12.<\/p>\n

The Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.4 percent to 13,525.20. The Nasdaq remains down about 4 percent from its Feb. 12 record-high close.<\/p>\n

Amazon rose 1.4 percent and Tesla added 3.7 percent, with the two companies giving the greatest lift to the S&P 500.<\/p>\n

Six out of 11 S&P 500 sector indexes rose, with industrials and consumer discretionary the strongest performers and both up over 1 percent.<\/p>\n

McDonald\u2019s gained 1.9 percent after Deutsche Bank raised its target price on the\u00a0stock\u00a0and also upgraded its recommendation to \u201cbuy\u201d from \u201chold.\u201d<\/p>\n

Advancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 1.33-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.46-to-1 ratio favored advancers.<\/p>\n

The S&P 500 posted 44 new 52-week highs and no new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 124 new highs and 18 new lows.<\/p>\n

Volume on US exchanges was 11.9 billion shares, compared with the 14.2 billion average for the full session over the last 20 trading days.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
